Alexander Rybak - 13 horses

13 horses swimming in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
Their ship is gone
and now they are alone
With water everywhere around them
The men were saved
from the sinking ship
Right before it started to burn
And while theyre safe
their loyal friends need help
Patiently waiting for their turn
13 horses swimming in the sea
They dont even know its pointless
Their pride remains
but this time it wont help
They used to be so tall
and sudennly theyre small
Theres a couple waiting far behind
So they will be out of sight
But then who cares
theyre dying anyway
All of them are doomed this night
11 horses swimming in the sea
The sea they fought was just a river
Theyre used to this
its probably just a race
That helps to ease their minds
but wheres the finish line
The night grows dark
the body wants to rest
It hurts to breathe
and still they do their best
They want to live
no matter for how long
Their thoughts all disappeared
Cause now theyre really scared
7 horses struggling in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
They dont look back
cause whats the point of that
There is only death behind them
They cry for help
but help will never come
They dont know where to swim
or what theyre swimming from
They try to swim some more
when panic starts to spread
Theyre swimming in to shore
but only in their heads
The 3 last horses
Dying in the sea
Shouting out their cries but no one
Theyre born to win
theyre screaming in their hearts
The strength of thousand men
Theyre fighting to the end
The sun is out
Birds are everywhere
Theyre flying high
surfing in the air
Its nice to live
when life is such a blast
One horse that swims
it seems to be the last
The thirteenth horse
has always been the best
His honour will be proud
But now he wants to rest
Hes longing for his home
The girl will give him food
Good boy - shell say
together they will play
13 horses swimming in the sea
Soon they will be gone forever
And while they swim,
One thing still remains
And thats the hope that never dies
It never dies
It never dies
